Only gifts divinely given, carefully trained, and deeply consecrated, combined with an earnest study of God's Word and a great and burning zeal and passion, will make a man a great preacher. But it is not a man's responsibility to be a great preacher. It is his duty to be the best preacher he can be. To that end he should seek to develop his natural gifts, however limited, and pray earnestly for a full measure of that zeal without which knowledge is dead and for that love without which even the most eloquent of speakers becomes as "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals." - Foreword. Dr. Bob Jones, Chancellor of Bob Jones University, is a many-faceted preacher and dynamic speaker. His background in drama and other literature gives color and beauty to his style. His more than fifty years of world travel provide him with a rich source of illustrations from personal experience. More important, a lifetime of saturation in the Word of God equips him to preach with power and authority. He speaks with ease and down-to-earth practicality in the chapel services at the University. During Sunday worship he preaches with dignity and polish, but without stiff formality; and in evangelistic meetings, he presents the gospel with compelling zeal. His ministry has had enormous impact, not merely because of Dr. Jones' considerable gifts as a speaker, but also because of the content of his messages: Christ centered, doctrinal, principle-oriented and, as such, always pertinent. It is not necessary to praise Dr. Bob with glowing superlatives. His finest tributes are the lives he has influenced for now and eternity. - Back cover.
